Ilhe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part 0! the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. Wmcox, of Peoria, Peoria county, State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Anti-Friction Revolving Cylinders and Sectional Rollers Combined for Gar-Axle Boxes and Shafting; and I do hereby declare the following to be an exact description of the same, reference being had to the ac-' companying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

Figure lrepresents the end view of the box,'axle, rollers, and cylinders on the inside. Figure 2 represents a top sectional andlongitudinal view of the same." The nature of my invention consists in the combination'and arrangement of two cylinders, operating on the upper side of the axle, with a, flange on the outer end of the axle, and anti-friction sectional roll crs on joumals of the cylinders, and the object. is to lessen the friction of the axle, and prevent the axle from wabbling.

A represents thee-ml and top of the cast-iron box,

' in which the axle B revolves, the journal of the axle being less in diameter than the axle itself, but the shoulder 0,0'n one side, and the flange D at the other side, are the same diameter of the axle; the ends of the cylinders E E operating between the shoulder O and flange D, which make the axle B revolve correctly and truly, and prevent the axle from slipping sidewise or wabbling.

0n the journals G G, of the cylinders E, are anti- I friction rollers H, that revolve on sectional rings or ends J, in four divisions or sections, 1, 2, 3, .4, each section having two or more mllers, H, with their journals operating in slots or ends J.

These sectional rollers likewisevassistin reducing the friction or heating of the axle 3, and they are in sections, so as to be easiiy plaizeli upon the journals G, of the cylinders E, or removed when required, with-v out removing the axle or cylinders from the box, the outside circular plates K K securing the rollers to their places, and preventing the s'ections from working out.

The oval plate L, on the side of the box A, is intended to'prevent the dust from getting into the box,

the purposes set forth.
